# Photonic-Wafer-Probestation und optische Montagestation

Die Technische Universität Dänemark sucht zwei spezialisierte Anlagen für photonische integrierte Schaltungen: eine zur optischen und elektrischen Charakterisierung und eine zum Verbinden von Faser-Array-Einheiten mit optischen Chips. Angebote sind für eines oder beide Lose möglich. Der geschätzte Gesamtwert beträgt 1,25 Mio. EUR, davon 800.000 EUR für die Probestation und 450.000 EUR für die Montagestation. Gefordert werden Umsatz, positives Eigenkapital und vergleichbare Referenzen.

    "text": "Notice title:\nOne Photonic Wafer Probe Station and one Photonic Assembly Station\n\nBuyer:\nDanmarks Tekniske Universitet - DTU\n\nDescription:\nThis tender concerns DTU Nano's planned procurement of a Photonic Assembly Station and a Photonic Wafer Probe Station. The tender is split into to two lots – one for each of the two stations. Tenderers may choose to bid on one or both lots, which will be evaluated and awarded individually. The assembly station is for connecting fibre array units (FAUs) to an optical chip. The type of connection will be edge coupling using waveguides loops for alignment but if necessary, the alignment can also be performed either using the light source on the chip (if it exists) or by using an external light source and connecting two FAUs, one on each side of the chip. Thus, the main purpose of the machine is to do assembly and fiber attachment of photonic chips. The system shall support research, prototyping, process development, pilot manufacturing, and low-volume production activities within DTU Nano's advanced fabrication facility.  DTU has activities within Silicon Photonics (SiPh), Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), Optical transceivers, Laser modules, Photodetectors, Fiber-optic assemblies, Co-packaged optics and Quantum photonic devices which we want to support in the best possible way. DTU therefore intends to purchase a reconfigurable, flexible, versatile machine. The purpose of the photonic wafer probe station is to characterise the quality of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). It should be possible to characterise both optical and electrical performance. For the optical characterisation, the main coupling in/out technique will be through grating couplers, but the equipment should be possible to be configured also for edge coupling to component facets in a grove on the wafer. In this case, different holders and fibres may be needed. The electrical characteristics are to be characterised both in DC as well as RF up to 40GHz using probe and/or probe cards. The system shall support research, development, process qualification, and routine characterization activities within DTU Nano's advanced fabrication facility.\n\nLots:\n1-0 — One Photonic Wafer Probe Station (Lot 1)\nThe tender concerns a photonic wafer probe station to characterise the quality of photonic integrated circuits (PICs).

Comparable agreements mean agreements with a value of at least DKK 3,000,000 concerning delivery of Photonic Wafer Probe Stations or photonic equipment comparable to this, in the sense of functionality and complexity. The agreement, to which the reference refers, must not be more than 3 years old. The date is calculated from the date of approved delivery, installation and testing of the equipment. If the Tenderer cannot comply with the requirement, the Tenderer may rely on the capacities of other entities or make a consortium\n\nSelection requirements:\nFor the last 3 audited financial years, as a minimum the Tenderer must for each year have had a positive equity\n\nSelection requirements:\nAs a minimum the Tenderer must provide 2 references for comparable agreements.

DTU uses a linear point scale model to evaluate the Tenderers’ prices. The linear model implies that the offered prices are converted into points. The offered prices are awarded points on a scale from 0-10. Thus, lowest price is awarded maximum points 10, while prices that are 100% or more expensive / higher than the lowest price are awarded 0 points. Other prices in between are awarded points according to the formula for linear interpolation.\n\nAward criteria:\nThe qualitative criteria will be assessed based on the Evaluation Requirements (3, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16 & 18) described in the specifications in Appendix 1 – Requirement Specification. Based on the assessment of fulfilments, points are awarded on a scale of 0-10.\n\nAward criteria:\nThe qualitative criteria will be assessed based on the Evaluation Requirements (20, 22, 25, 28, 29, 30, 33, 35, 37, 38, 41, 43, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 54, 55, 59, 60 & 61) described in the specifications in Appendix 1 – Requirement Specification.
